The people over at dosbox have released a new version.

It should fix many bugs that occured with 0.62 especially in the CDROM department.

I think it's a recomended update.

@:Sebatianos It runs 7 cities of gold.

The full changelog:
- Fixed crash with keymapper (ctrl-f1) and output=surface.
- Added unmounting.
- Fixed multiple issues with drive labels.
- Fixed most if not all FILES=XX problems.
- Added redirection in the shell.
- Fixed crashes with subst.
- Fixed multiple crashes with the drive images support.
- Added a missing fpu instruction.
- Fixed some cpu and fpu instructions.
- Fixed a small bug related to font loading.
- Rewrote the devices support.
- Added capslock/numlock checks on startup.
- Fixed wave writing.
- A few internal DOS fixes.
- Timer fixes for the hybrid loader.
- Some small soundblaster fixes.
- The drive cache can now be cleared by a keycombo. (CTRL-F4)
- A few keyboard fixes.
- Compilation fixes on various platforms.
- Quite some debugger improvements.
- Fixed dir only showing files after the first run on cdrom drives.
- Added some cdrom detection checks.
- Enabled insert in the shell. (Easier editing of commands)
- Changed order in which executables appear with tab-completion.
- Fixed some issues with raw opl recording and using a slightly different
format

Every new version of DOSBox is better than the previous. That is why everyone should download it.

Does it fix the this error:
- In WinXP, when I press alt+enter (to get full-screen view) my system crashes, actually my harddisk turns off, and the computer restarts! Later, hardisk turns on on the memory test! :ranting:

Yeah, but I don't know what the problem could be, or how to fix it?
Any suggestions?

Or even better, get a registered version of XP, so that you can load damn SP. :bleh:

Just kidding.

What OS are you running and is there any debug information after comp reboots?
